What a come down
When my old Husqvarna 61 from 1984 finally started falling apart I bought a 460. It has been a disappointing experience in as much as it seems underpowered and unwilling to rev hard under load.

OK
Ok saw for 3-4 cords per year,of 12-18 inch trees.for bigger stuff get real saw,ie 372,390 or a big dolmar. I hate Stihls all i have had have been junk. Lots of oiler issues with the 460. Dealer says other folks bitchen about it too. Overall the Husqvarna 460 is a good camp saw but not for bigtime wood cutting.
Easy to start. Idles well.
Oiler keeps plugging up. Ran Husqvarna 272 for 5 years never had this problem.the 460 also is a little down on power for a 60 cc saw.
